Training Log Archive: Timato

After a weekend camping at Pinehurst with Mick and Laura and all the kids, my plan was to run home along the Grand Valley Trail. Started out at 2 pm and found it pretty hot on the exposed roads. The trails from Cambridge up to the end of Dryden Tract were really nice, but after that it was a pretty long road slog until Homer Watson. The run also included a 30min loop when I took the wrong turn in a cornfield that wasn't marked. I ended up back at the farmer's house and snuck out to the road only to realize I was about 100m down the road from where I had entered the trail.

It ended up taking me 3:30 to get to the top of Homer Watson and I was down to one water bottle. I hadn't thought to carry any money, which I should have, so from there I ran roads back home. I was able to stop halfway at a friends house and sneak into his backyard to fill a bottle from his garden hose.

I'd like to do this again to cover the whole Grand Valley trail up to our place, but next time on my MTB bike which would be a lot more enjoyable on the road sections.
